Feisty1967, calm down. As Russ' PA and friend for many years (including the Madhouse day's, LWT & BBC) I may have been slightly out with my dates, however I will bow to your more superiour knowledge of what happened during this time. God bless for being a fan.
@MrBillpriddin No, this was the original Saturday Madhouse, recorded 1980 -1981, it later became Russ Abbot's Madhouse in 1982. Previous to that, Russ had appeared in Freddie Starr's Variety Madhouse in 1979, so the Madhouse idea was born out ot that.

@623058 Russ' Management bought the right's to all of the 'madhouse' series and in their wisdom decided not to produce the shows. That's all I know.
